Here’s a shot from our brand-new garden last week.
Well, here it is now:
Yes, fortification became necessary. Our precious babies need to be protected from the predators that roam our neighbourhood at night. I came out one morning this week to see every bush – except the tomatoes; apparently possums don’t like them – ravaged. Our poor strawberry is just a little stem poking out of the ground.
As I’ve said, I’m pointing the finger at our local possum population.
Why?
Because of this possum-sized bulge in the wire.
(You can’t quite see from the top photo but there’s a depression in the top, so they drop through there and exit out the side. The buggers.)
So this weekend Adam will erect a more permanent means of keeping our babies safe. All reasonable suggestions and advice will be gladly taken.
